ST. LUKE'S HONORS OUR VETERANS ACROSS BOTH CAMPUSES
St. Luke’s proudly celebrated Veterans Day with special programs at both campuses, honoring the brave men and women who have served our country.
Our University Campus hosted a veterans breakfast, student artwork display, band performance, and a special video tribute by Matt Farnell. Guest speaker Retired U.S. Navy Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Joe Prati shared a meaningful message alongside his service dog, Chief.
At our Japonica Campus, 5th-grade students presented a patriotic performance, followed by an inspiring message from guest speaker Colonel Maureen Baldy Williams, U.S. Army (Ret.), and a reception in
St. Luke’s Hall.
A special thank you to Mrs. Banks for returning to lead these meaningful celebrations! We are grateful for the opportunity to teach our Wildcats the importance of service, sacrifice, and patriotism while honoring those who protect our freedoms.
To all who have served, continue to serve, and will serve in the future, we thank you!

Mrs. Banks has made a lasting impact on the St. Luke’s community, and we are forever grateful for the countless lives she has touched throughout her years of service.
Thank you, Mrs. Banks, for 37 incredible years of love, leadership, and dedication to St. Luke’s!

ST. LUKE'S ROBOTICS TEAM SHINES AT
GULF COAST BEST COMPETITION
St. Luke’s Robotics Team and their robot, “Chef Doug,” delivered an impressive performance at the Gulf Coast BEST Robotics Competition! The Wildcats started strong, with one of our 6th-grade drivers scoring significant points in the opening round. The team maintained 1st place through several rounds and earned a spot in the semifinals!
A highlight of the competition was the team's custom programming, which allowed Chef Doug to operate autonomously and deliver a prepared meal to a table in a simulated dining room. The team also earned the Most Photogenic Robot Award, drawing attention from other teams eager to learn about its design, gear ratios, and engineering components.
What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that our team consisted primarily of 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade students, alongside four high school students, competing against predominantly
high school teams!
Although the Wildcats did not advance to the final round, we are incredibly proud of their innovation, teamwork, engineering skills, and determination. Special thanks to Gulf Coast BEST Robotics for bringing this outstanding STEM competition back to Mobile!
Congratulations, Wildcats!
